US and Iran trade threats of expanding war after strikes near Israeli areas tied to nuclear sites
"Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu toured the destruction in Arad and said it was a 'miracle' no one was killed there. He claimed Israel and the U.S. were well on their way to achieving the war's goals and implored the international community for more support."
"President Donald Trump warned the United States will destroy Iran's power plants if Tehran fails to fully open the Strait of Hormuz, setting a 48-hour deadline on Saturday."
"Hezbollah claimed responsibility for an airstrike Sunday that killed a man in northern Israel while Gulf Arab states - including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates - said they were intercepting fresh barrages of new Iranian strikes."
"Iran has practically closed the Strait of Hormuz, a chokepoint connecting the Persian Gulf to the rest of the world through which roughly one-fifth of global supply passes."
Iran and Hezbollah increased their military actions against Israel, launching strikes across the country. Israeli leaders visited Arad, where Iranian missiles caused injuries. Prime Minister Netanyahu emphasized the need for international support. President Trump threatened to destroy Iranian power plants if the Strait of Hormuz is not opened, prompting Iran to warn of retaliation. The conflict, which began on February 28, has resulted in significant casualties and economic instability, with oil prices rising due to the tensions.
